Which is better?
>>69010432
Both are great but the British had a more consistent run. We tend to beat things to death here.
The original or the drawn-out ripoff? Hard choice.
>>69010432
Wow british people are ugly
>>69010538
Yep
US ≥>>>>>>>>>>>>>>UK
>>69010432
american is good for like 3 seasons then stops being funny
>>69010538
We let ugly people on tv. Americans hide their ugly
The original
I've been watching the British one and I was wondering if the US version is worth watching. If I like The Office UK, will I like the American one?
They very different shows.
I watched the British one years ago and it was fine.
I watched the American this month, the first few episodes the style is very similar but then it goes a different way, it's pretty endearing but there are some utterly shit episodes and if you are watching it for the first time again, do not watch season 9 it's worthless.
>>69010538
>american media is dominated by brits
I like both for different reasons
t. Bong
Brit version had better central characters
US version had better supporting cast
Brit version had more tight narrative and satisfying resolution
US version had better long-term character development

They were both pretty meh if I'm going to be honest
Never got that whole cringe comedy thing
Did Steve Carell get a hair transplant?
Both are pretty shit. So the Brits win because it's shorter, therefore, less torture to endure.
>>69010538
we are pretty ugly, but I think you're missing the point of the show "The Office" about a bunch of ordinary people working in Slough. It wasn't going to feature Hayley Atwell as the secretary
>>69010791
Yes. Around the time of 40YO virgin
>>69010777
pretty much this, as a britbong I was reluctant to try the American office because we assume american humour is all fart humour and pratfalls, but in the long term it was pretty good, respectful of the original but at the same time bringing something new to the table.
>>69010789
Fair enough, it's not for everyone. Quite subjective.
>>69010626
Season 1 of US Office is practically a 1 on 1 recreation of the UK Show. Hell the first episode is the exact same script with the only changes being that they Americanized things (replaced Camilla Bowles with Hillary Clinton).
Season 2 they actually made it it's own thing and if you like other US Sitcoms you probably will like the US Office. Just keep in mind that when Steve Carell leaves the show it becomes pretty shitty quickly.
Thanks for talking about John and my show guys x

To be honest this describes me pretty well

What the fuck is this
>>69010538
Post a picture of yourself lad
UK Office
>Real to life
>heart and soul
>hilarious and gut wrenching in the same 20 minutes
>peaked and ended before it got worse
US Office
>Had some strong new imaginings of characters, eg Jim, Dwight, Ryan the temp, Creed were all great
>after season 2 where it departed it started to decline into a typical American comedy
>became less rooted in reality, and started to break their own rules of documentary style camera work
>characters became caricatures
>admitally still had its moments
>post season 7 was awful
In short the UK Office is my favourite of the two
If you're British and think American The Office is better, or if you're American and think British The Office is better, you need to shut your pretentious, unpatriotic/unloyalist ass the fuck up.

Suicide when?
Like many said uk office ended before it got stale but is office had nice development but got really shit after steve left
I really wish they would just leave the uk office alone and ricky wouldnt do the movie without merchant, it looks fucking terrible
>>69011216
>knew when to end the show
He's been milking Brent for years. Isn't there a fucking movie coming out
>>69011236
Us office*
>>69011216
You're either British or a wanker.
>>69010432
America, more plurality in characters.
You have the polack, the jew, the wog, the poo, the mexican, the nazi, the ginger all socializing together.
Now take the look at the English version, bunch of inbred unfunny self-deprecating fucktards.
>>69010432
American version has Creed Bratton
American version wins
this is her new husband who had bit in the show
Wtf was his problem?

oops

Yes we all know yanks love diversity and cultural enrichment you cuck.

ITT: Americans saying the American version is better.
Why am I not surprised?
>>69011330
Literally who?
People say the US version got better but I never got that far. I saw the first few episodes and it was basically identical to the original except performed worse, which is just pathetic and gay. Come up with your own shit or not at all.
>>69011648
At least the US office had a more diverse and inclusive cast.
>>69010432
Both are terrible and overrated.
>>69010432
UK version captures real office life better and the humour all comes from the observational bits, there's no gags.
US version is probably funnier since it's a more conventional comedy with jokes, but like every US show it was driven into the ground.
US Office
>Real to life
>heart and soul
>hilarious and gut wrenching in the same 20 minutes
>Illustrated what it's like to work in an office and captured the depressing aspirations of middle class men everywhere
UK Office
>le cringe lmao xD
Us Office had more charisma and many more funny episodes
>>69010718
Brits cherry pick the least disgusting people to come to America
>mfw all brits think they are Christian Bale.
>mfw inbred brits think highly of themselves
Both are absolute shit compared to the German version.
>>69013503
literally the worst adaptation
>>69013564
Just leave kid. You are out of your depth.
>>69010579
This is why Gervais ended his version after only two seasons, he could see the limitations of the joke and went out on a high note.
Trouble is Americans think differently, to be considered 'good' something has to have at least seven seasons regardless of quality. Gotta generate that advertising revenue.
>>69010782
>>>le classic /int/ meme
its not a meme tho you're women especially is ugly af. There are very few beautiful brit women that arent a mix of other races.
>>69013503
Sounds like shit, but I'm actually curious.
Care to share some yt links?
Michael Scott is one of the best television characters ever devised. Do not compare him to Ricky the hack pls,
>>69010432
The original was a cynical, yet hopeful show.
The addition of Greg "King of The Hill" Daniels to the production team for the US show meant that beneath it's cutesy exterior, it was a nihilistic celebration of middle-American mediocrity.
Which is why, at least as long as Steve Carrell was on it, the US show stood head and shoulders over the original.

Their shows only exist to serve their Jew masters and advertisements.
>>69010698
>watching for the first time again
That's not how that works limpduck
>>69010538
Good looking people aren't funny. It's why American "comedy" shows cherry-pick good looking people and it's painfully unfunny.
Fuck the American Office just for spawning numerous copycats and popularizing the shitty mockumentary style for American sitcoms.
>>69013612
That actuallly is good avice.
See you, Horst.
